this here, so unfunny, and rage inducing

This here, really makes me, very, very, very angry.

Photographs of alleged prisoner abuse which Barack Obama is attempting to censor include images of apparent rape and sexual abuse, it has emerged.

At least one picture shows an American soldier apparently raping a female prisoner while another is said to show a male translator raping a male detainee.

 

Further photographs are said to depict sexual assaults on prisoners with objects including a truncheon, wire and a phosphorescent tube

(insert personal rant) I don't understand this, I just...my brain cannot comprehend, how, in this day and age, a modern democracy with modern social values would allow this to happen in their armed forces.  It just blow my mind.  

This is not how a modern military should work, they are there to protect and defend their country, not to go around and do ...these things.
